Wardy940 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hey guys Just recently got into DCS world having bought a T16000 FCS HOTAS a week ago. Really enjoying it so far. I'll be looking into a more complicated module like the M-2000C or the A-10c soon enough. Just a quick question as I'm sure I'm not doing anything wrong, but on the mission I'm running at the moment I have 4 F-15 fighters I can use and every so often I spawn in, take off and after, I cannot fire my cannon. I always have the maximum amount of bullets, 940, but whatever I do I can't use them. It's rather annoying to run out of missiles, have 940 bullets and not be able to use them. Has anyone come across this before that could help me out? On a side note, every time I try to launch DCS 2.0 it crashes. Anyway to get it working? Would love to try the Normandy map. God, I don't ask for much, do I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The missile launch button and the cannon button are different ones. Look inside the keyboard controls and map both on different buttons on the joystick. " You must think in russian.."

Sweep Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Is your gear up? You can't shoot the gun with the gear down... Besides that, "C" selects the cannon and "Spacebar" fires it. Edit: Mirmidon beat me to the post button...lol Lord of Salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy940 Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think you may of hit the nail on the head there, sweep. I sometimes forget to put my gear up and just start flying around, I think that's probably the cause. I have got the cannon and and missile launch mapped separately. That also confused me at first. This sim takes a lot of getting used to, but it's so worth it. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Mirmidon beat me to the post button...lol How do you disable the 'C' select so that pressing Spacebar will no longer fire the gun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fitness88 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) So once gun mode is enabled there is no disable, no gun mode off? If it can be enabled it should be able to be disabled after all you never know when your gun figure might pull a cramp and you end up shooting down your buddy. edit: Once cycled back to NAV mode the gun mode will need to be re-enabled once back in combat mode.

probad Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) you dont need to go through nav mode when you can press 2 to directly return to bvr mode. pulling the gun trigger will still shoot regardless if you're in gunsight mode or not, as entering bvr mode is the same as switching master arm on.

fitness88 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Your way the gun trigger is still hot, when cycling in/out of combat mode into NAV the gun trigger goes cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
